Last evening I took a couple photos before her nightly bath. Her little body is so cute, I could just eat her up! (I used to think it was weird when people said that about babies. Now I'm finally starting to get it! Well, at least about my baby...I don't want to eat anyone else's baby.)
This morning we started taking our weekly photos in the living room, but as soon as we started we had another photo to add to the "keepin' it real" files:
I quickly cleaned up the random spit-up, then Rose was off to play! I was having such a hard time getting clear photos because she kept switching from toy to toy. She's a little bundle of energy when she's feeling good!

Well, she's a bundle of energy until the "tired eyes" suddenly hit!
We had some errands to run anyway, so we piled everyone in the car and Rose was out cold within seconds. Yes, the car is back to being the "magic sleep machine" once again. Like mother, like daughter.
After the errands were complete, we decided to check out Eden Prairie Center. None of us had ever really been inside it before, so we figured it was as good a place as any to get some walking in while the weather is still cold. And then we discovered Rose's new favorite place: an indoor play area!
Our little peanut, who had been looking so grown up at home, suddenly looked so small among all the other kids! But she absolutely loved it - she even pulled herself up to standing (which she has apparently been doing for weeks at school, but it was the first time I'd ever seen it)!
The other exciting part of the morning was that Rose drank a bottle that was 2/3 milk and 1/3 formula. We're coming down the home stretch on our milk stash, so we need to transition her to formula pretty soon. Every time we've tried giving her a formula bottle in the past several months she has flatly rejected it. Then Mike came up with the gradual transition idea and so far it seems to be working (fingers crossed)!
Speaking of food, after Rose tuckered herself out in the play area, we headed off to Biaggi's for lunch. Rose really must be feeling better because she ate three big slices of bread (dipped in olive oil and parmesan), she sucked all the flavor off my cucumber salad, and she ate all the avocado off my sandwich. And she was a delightful lunch companion in general - she sat quietly eating while we enjoyed our meals and conversation, and a wonderful time was had by all!
Have a great week, everyone!
